Best Lilies Poems

Fields Of Lilies ~A Poet Destroyer Collaboration~


I stand tall among the restful souls 
That has received restored innocence after death 
With a trumpet of harmony sweet fragrant bloom 
Drowning in tears that have been shed 
Soil sprinkled over me after I’m forced away

Loosen soil...

Floating fluttering fleurs
are jewels in fuchsia and magenta
transmuting into taffy hue
with the kiss of dappled sunlight
like her cheeks that blush in pink
with his wondering wink.

The willows are stalactites 
seducing newly bloomed nympheas
slumbering in Egyptian blue water 
like her shaggy windswept hair
teasing her beloved's face
beneath the...

Fragile to the touch,
Bathing in rays open wide,
Closed at star lit eyes.

"The meek and the humble will be elevated to places where the haughty can never ascend even with a ladder. Stay humble in victory and calm in defeat"- by poet

stood a garden, long, long ago
home to giant oaks and figs...

,
Dancing white ladies twirl and sway on pointed satin stems 

Arched backwards in time, with adagio’s breath in soft fluttering 

Clustered flowers dance in evening breeze, folding wings at sundown...

Throw white lilies on the grave
Watch the shadows on the stone
Feel the tear upon my cheek
In the crowd I cry alone

All the days lived together
Things I should have said
Love taken as my right
Now that love lies dead

If the pages could be turned
And the story begun...

For crying out loud, the flowers are gorgeous,
Fresh, happy, young, alive, and vivacious.
Regrettably, we, humans, cut their lives short,
From time to time, from events to events.

For God’s sake, let the flowers live like the monuments,
Let them enjoy a long life, like the statues in the...

A canvas washed with pastel hues
In palest pinks and liquid blues
Perfection seen through Monet’s eyes
Recounting where his genius lies

The lilies floating on the lake
The water, greenish blue opaque
A fluid mix of subtle tints
A flowing dream with fragile glints

This work of art from sable brush
Perception, depth,...

Weiße Seerosen / White Water Lilies / Lotos blancos  

Weiße Seerosen
Sie tanzen einen Reigen
Auf dunklem Wasser


White water lilies
They perform a round dance
Over dark water 


Los lotos blancos
Ellos bailan una rueda
Sobre el agua oscura...

"O Yellow Lily! You smilingly bloom
   Early in the morning in my terrace garden,
In a jiffy, you take away all gloom,
   Tell me, in front of you, can any heart harden?"
"O White Lily! What makes your face to brighter shine?

while soaking up the sunshine
the Calla Lilies 
are a balm to my senses
I breathe in their rich fragrance...

Little things that made her laugh, ways that she came to me 
Lilies by her photograph, beauty beyond beauty 
Poems on her pillowcase, smiles to bring the dawn in 
Pain etched deep within her face, the sorrow, now I mourn

Kindness to all living things, mercy...

Snow flakes and Easter lilies scatter the ground
Winter time and Spring time seem to be having a round
Like a game of tug of war each side wants control
Today it was winter who wanted to rock n roll
Tomorrow maybe Spring time will give it a heave...

Yellow day lilies -- succulent tall stalks --
quiet, cultivated, cool and elegant,
nestle in green, long leaves among lawns.
Wind bruises blooms tethered to their stems,
and an occasional great, gray cat
(cunning yellow eyes glinting sunlight)
crouches among them,
stalking yellow-breasted birds....

I am the swan
   with a broken wing —
Not knowing where
   my old flock has gone.
I drift now amidst
   embracing lilies, who
Have long and dearly kept 
   my pleas for close company…
Thus, whenever hunters near,
The lilies ask...
